Arthroscopic resection of volar wrist lipoma: a case report.
We present the case of a patient who showed a volar radiocarpal mass confirmed to be a lipoma by the ultrasonographic examination. The whole procedure was done by arthroscopy, using portal 1-2 for the shaver and 3-4 for the arthroscope. The patient returned to daily activities within a few days, with a mobility of the operated wrist identical to that of the contralateral wrist, with no pain and only two little dorsal scars.
